{( About )}

PureEdit is the first CMS that dramatically simplifies the back-end development of your website while giving you full control of the front-end design and programming. By allowing such uncommon flexibility, PureEdit empowers you to design web sites from the ground up, without forcing you to follow the narrow template rules you'll find elsewhere.

Can I use PureEdit on commercial web sites?
Absolutely! PureEdit is licensed under the General Public License, and allows you to use it on any website. Public, private, or commercial.
How easy is it to theme PureEdit?
PureEdit was built so you can match your clients' color schemes as fast as possible using CSS. Want to dive deeper into the markup? No problem. All presentation (HTML/CSS) has been stored into template files away from the logic (PHP). PureEdit consists of web standard code, 1 image, and a few FAMFAM icons.
What are Predefined Fields?
One of the reasons PureEdit is unique is because you're able to build your database and add distinct suffixes to each column name. Each suffix is called a Predefined Field and calls special functions that are prewritten (or written by other PureEdit users). For example, if you want a textfield, all you need to do is add "_txt" at the end of your column name.
Does PureEdit support relationships?
Yes! Relationship support is part of the Predefined Fields feature. It's extremely easy to establish relationships between two tables. All you need to do is add the "_rel" suffix to the end of the foreign tables' name. (For example, "news_rel" will create a relationship with the news table.
How easy is it to add my own add-ons?
So easy it's sick! PureEdit was built to anticipate your add-ons, which is why it's completely modularized. Everything is organized properly in the correct folder and sub-folders, so it's easier to develop onto than any other system.
Who should use PureEdit?
Anyone should use PureEdit. Designers, programmers, hybrids who design and program, clients, customers, and whoever else you can think of! PureEdit is built to help make the development of your back-end system simpler. I mean, take note of how simple the interface is, it's perfect for any client.
Do you have documentation?
Yes, however it's incomplete. I can only do so much in one day, but rest assure that it's on my priority list...depending on how much feedback I get. (Hint hint). You can view the documentation at www.pureedit.com/docs. We even have a community
My question wasn't answered?
Of course it wasn't. And for that I profusely apologize. Please accept my super sorry groveling. Fact it, there are just too many gee-whiz things going on here to do everything at once. But hey - if you go ahead and visit the community, I promise somone or myself will answer your question.
